John Shanks - 6th Avenue lyrics

[Verse 1] A strip of sunlight A moment in time A change of direction Your life in a face Your words on a page Now your heart needs no protection [Pre-Chorus 1] In one conversation I saw what I always believed in In just a few words I could tell it would hurt To leave you without knowing when I might see you again So again I depend on the unknown [Chorus] I've travelled six thousand miles Thirty thousand feet just to see you Where is the danger I have my return ticket ready with nothing to lose Has time taken leave of our senses Or has sense taken leave of our time If all of my life has been leading to this rendezvous Let it happen on 6th Avenue [Verse 2] I've always lived life in search of surprise I keep my eyes open What you can't control you can't leave alone So don't choose, be chosen [Pre-Chorus 2] Now your tongue can't say the questions 'Cause you know the answers In just a few words I could tell it would hurt To leave you without knowing when I might see you again [Chorus] I've travelled six thousand miles Thirty thousand feet just to see you Where is the danger I have my return ticket ready with nothing to lose Has time taken leave of our senses Or has sense taken leave of our time If all of my life has been leading to this rendezvous Let it happen on 6th Avenue [Bridge] On any other day I'd have taken Broadway In a New York minute To think I could have missed you [Repeat Chorus x2] I've travelled six thousand miles Thirty thousand feet just to see you Where is the danger I have my return ticket ready with nothing to lose Has time taken leave of our senses Or has sense taken leave of our time If all of my life has been leading to this rendezvous Let it happen on 6th Avenue I've traveled six thousand miles Thirty thousand feet just to see you Where is the danger I have my return ticket ready with nothing to lose Has time taken leave of our senses Or has sense taken leave of our time If all of my life has been leading to this rendezvous Let it happen on 6th Avenue
